How to
TASTE
During your time at the Festival
today, you can discover more
from the world’s greatest wines,
beers and spirits than you might
otherwise do in a whole year!
Fancy joining a live
tasting session?

Four steps to great tasting!
To help you stay the course, we’ve
placed plenty of spittoons around
the Hall – don’t be shy to use them.

when you’re tasting. But if
others are waiting, please
move aside to allow them
to be served too.
Fuel up! There are biscuits
and water at every table,
plus all the lovely food stalls
and Café (downstairs).
And do use the spittoons!
